The producers of DREAM, the new Japanese MMA promotion borne out of the ashes of PRIDE and K-1 HERO'S, have set forth their "dream" match for the annual end-of-year fight festival known as Dynamite: a rematch between former PRIDE aces Fedor Emelianenko and Mirko "CroCop" Filipovic.

Wooo thank god, I thought they were going to do this at Dream 5 when Cro Cop's supposed to fight again lol. I don't want this fight that soon but at the end of the year if all goes well I will be more then happy to see this. Hope Cro Cop fight Kharitonov next, or the fight that I keep hearing about.

y couldnt this happen right after the OWGP, when CC was at his best, hopefully the next fight can bring him back to that form and fedor needs this fight too his he's been fightin someone weird ppl lately

I wonder if the UFC will take Cro Cop back, as planned, if he loses to Fedor. I mean it is Fedor, it's not like a loss to him is much of a blemish on his record. I'm happy that this is in the works, but I hope CC gets back to the UFC whatever happens.

If CC wins, its a huge mark on his career in terms of people thinking "he's back". If he loses , its expected. If Fedor doesnt dominate, I bet he still loses his "#1 status", because CC has been eaten up by only decent heavy weights.

I don't think he's thinking about going back, he's thinking about winning. He looked really happy at Dream and the Japanese style fits his personality much better.

Are you trying to say that knocking down cans who go into fetal position two minutes into the first round fits Cro Cop's personality much better?

Hoahahaha woooo good one big guy good one. No I mean that the Japanes don't have all of the pre fight things that the UFC does. They're quiet, they don't boo, and I've heard him say he really likes that.
